Ingredients

Recipe Directions

1. OPTIONAL TO SOFTEN: The night before, throw the water, raisins and then the steel cut oats into your blender. Let them sit overnight.

2. In the morning, start your blender (and if you didn't soak the night before, throw the water, raisins and then the steel cut oats into your blender). While the water and oats are blending, chop the apple and then add it to the blender, too.

3. Continue blending until the oatmeal is a nice, smooth texture.

4. Eat! I love to top this oatmeal with more whole raisins and a sprinkle of cinnamon. This recipe for raw oatmeal makes for a very filling breakfast.

BTW.. I am also going to try your brownies..my hubby and I went to the health food store...AGAIN...lol last night to get the ingredients. I've been on a juice fast for the last two weeks and, I have been craving sweets all week!!!

Could there be a typo on the ingredients? I was preparing to soak my oats tonight to try this for tomorrow and I noticed the cooking directions on my steel-cut oats are 1 cup oats to 4 cups water for 4 servings. Should the ingredients be 1/4 cup oats instead of 1 1/4 cup for 1 serving? Thanks.

This looks delicious! I'd love to try this with some of our sprouted groats- especially the comment about the "oatmeal hot chocolate"! Yum! Montana Gluten Free Processors produces raw oat groats and raw oatmeal that hasn't been steamed, steeped, or heated. Plus, our oats are higher in protein than conventional oats! If you have any questions regarding the "rawness" of oats, please feel free to reach out. We'd love to help educate raw foodies about all the benefits of truly raw oatmeal :)

On the other hand... I was emptying the extra oatmeal out of the blender and some was stuck at the bottom, so I put some water in and whizzed to clear it out, and was struck by inspiration - added a couple of teaspoons of raw cacao powder and some honey, whizzed again until the jug felt warm and lo and behold! Creamy, frothy raw 'hot' chocolate! Every cloud....

Raw oatmeal recipe

Oh dear, Is everyone going to hate me for only rating this 3 stars? Usually I love your recipes, Laura-Jane, but for me, this was too sticky and gloopy. The taste and creamy quality were fine, just the texture wasn't right (for my taste) I think I'll try it again with less oats and more apple - I really would love to love this!

I wonder if it would work without blending? I mean, let the oats soak in the liquid and just eat it without whipping it all up? Just a thought. I love raw oatmeal. I am going to try this one tomorrow and was wondering from the picture about the texture of it. I usually just use raw oatmeal (not the steel cut but the regular flakes) and soak it overnight in water then blend it just enough but not all the way and add banana slices, cinnamon, a few almond slivers, and almond milk to it. Perhaps it's just the type of oats that you are working with, Jeni.

Hi Lisa, I had the same thought. I have used regular oatmeal the same way you do, soaking overnight in water, then adding fresh fruit etc. in the morning. Done that for years and I love it too. But this time I was using the steel cut oats and have the coarse cut variety, so I followed Laura-Jane's recipe. I'll try soaking the steel-cut ones and see how that goes. :-)
